Tanks just hold air they dont do much else. if the gun cocks and wont fire then id say you need to make sure your trigger isnt stuck
How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
You can fix this by cleaning out the chamber and making sure that all the internals are properly lubricated. Paintball guns may also fail to recock when there is inadequate pressure on the hammer. You can increase the tension on the hammer.
HOW LONG DOES THE CO2 CARTRIDGE LAST? Once penetrated on the first trigger pull, the CO2 cartridge will last 24 hours or 21 shots.
Simply unscrew the barrel and run your squeegee or paintball barrel swab through the interior, pulling it through. You`ll want to take several passes and use some sort of cleaner – even water works well for this. One of the most important steps is to make sure that you let the barrel dry thoroughly when you`re done.
Dry firing PCP or CO2 air rifles will usually be completely safe, as there isn`t a piston to worry about. You`re simply releasing a short spurt of air/CO2 to force the pellet up the barrel.
I`ve spoken to folks at Umarex and at Gletcher about this very thing and both companies recommend NOT leaving non-threaded, 12 gram Co2 cartridges in your gun for more than a day (actually Umarex suggested less!).
Paintball cylinders need to be retested for its serviceability every three to five years. They also only have a lifespan of 15 years. HYDROSTATIC TEST or HYDROTEST – The tank is visually inspected for cracks then is pressurized with water to look for a drop in pressure or to see if there are any leaks.
The inside of paintball guns needs to stay dry. Try and keep your paintballs in your loader on top of your gun or in your ammo pouch with the lid closed. If the inside of your gun becomes wet, take apart your gun and dry it out with a cloth and use a squeegee for the barrel.
Benefits of Green Gas – Reliable, Affordable, Easy
Also, because it has silicone oil in it, it will partially lubricate your gun as you are firing. However, just because there is silicone oil in the gas doesn`t meant that you don`t have to clean your pistol properly. You still do. Green Gas is also more cost efficient.
CO2 cylinders do not have an expiry date.
` – paintballs are water-soluble, non-toxic and will wash out of your clothing on a normal wash cycle. Paint on your hair or skin will also wash out easily in a shower, and the paint is hypoallergenic, so there should be no adverse reactions from taking a hit, other than a mark if you get one directly on your skin.
All paintballs have a shell made from gelatin which will dissolve over time. The real problem comes with the paint inside. Balls that have water-soluble dyes pose no problem. They will wash away in the rain or water and not leave any harmful chemicals in the environment.
Clean After Every Use
Clean the marker thoroughly after every use, but make sure to remove your Co2 or HPA tank first. Wipe down the outside of your gun after gameplay to remove all paint. Don`t use soap, chemical cleansers or wash cloths that are too abrasive.
When paintballs are left in temperatures under 70 degrees, the gelatin fill hardens and makes the outer shell become brittle. When the shell becomes brittle, it can easily break inside the barrel of the paintball gun before coming out.
The main advantage of compressed air is that it will perform more consistently than CO2, especially during high-speed shooting. It will also not be as affected as CO2 by environmental conditions like temperature, making it a much better choice for paintballing outdoors in cooler weather.
All CO2 guns eventually start to leak over time. You have control solely over the rate of loss which thankfully can be minimized by fixing the leakage. Besides just replacing the bb gun gas canisters, there are other ways through which you can fix the leak.
Dry-firing with no Co2 will not damage the trigger or any other part of the gun. Some big-time air softers say that firing any airsoft or BB/pellet gun or rifle without ammo is not good because having no ammo to produce resistance causes an abnormal pressure differential which can be harmful.
The most common gas used for airsoft guns is propane or “green gas.” Another type of gas used is CO2, which can be used for both rifles and pistols.
Reliably Powerful – Each 12g CO2 cartridge can deliver a minimum of 30 shots and a maximum of 200 shots, depending on the C02 powered device you use. However, these CO2 cartridges 12 gram can give you 20 to 30 good shots at once.
Most shooters find a limit of around 20-30 yards for hunting consistently, however, some accurately hunt beyond 50 yards with “springers”.
How much psi would a standard 12 gram CO2 air gun cartridge take before exploding? At room temperature of 20 C (68F), the vapor pressure of the L/g CO2 in the cartridge is already 60 atmospheres. This is roughly equivalent 900 psi.
Sometimes gaskets get old and brittle and just can`t do their job anymore. Get new gaskets if this is the source of the air leak. These o-rings can become brittle and cause your keg to leak air, draining your CO2 tank slowly over time. These gaskets can also become worn out over time and can cause air leaks.
A: According to Coffee Gator`s web site, the co2 filter should be replaced every six months.
The world`s largest economy could be drastically underestimating the cost of damage caused by carbon dioxide. A study published in Nature found that the USA`s value of one tonne of carbon dioxide should be $185 – almost four times the current cost of $51.
At even higher levels of CO2 can cause asphyxiation as it replaces oxygen in the blood-exposure to concentrations around 40,000 ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health.

I bought a new mossberg 590 a1 shot gun a month ago, I love the gun but its having a couple of problems, the first problem is that when shooting every once in a while i get sprayed in the face with exuast from shooting through the safety very scary! any ideas whats causing this? how to fix it? second is that some times the fireing pin sticks and the gun will not discharge a round? the third problem is that i have had feeding issues with gun where it will not realice a gound from the tube, ive taken a tip of a knife to the stuck round in the tube and it prys out with little effort, these problems dont happen every time i go shooting, just every once in a while, but they a happening more and more, im conserned cause the gun is brand new, and i wanna be safe while shooting, can you guys help me? any ideas/solutions? please help!!!!!!!
ANSWER : Personally, with that many problems, I’d call Mossberg and get a return authorization. None of these things should be happening, especially with a new gun.

Mar 12, 2010 – Could it be the check valve? I took it off and the flap appears to be working correctly. This well has been here a long time. Never given me any problems. I do have galvenized couplers on the discharge and intake sides. Old. Could these be leaking even though they show no sign of water? The discharge is able to hold 30 pounds easily overnight. I do not hear any vacuum in the intake when I take it off. Could the pipe to the well have a leak? I know I would have to insert a sleeve bnut I do not want to go through the hassle if I do not have to. I had put on a brand new pump from the hardware store that did the same thing so I think that would elliminate the pump as being the problem.
Mar 12, 2010 – I have a 3/4hp flotec convertible jet pump. It is able to hold 30lbs pressure on the discharge side as the primie easily for 24 hours. It is not able to pull water from the well whcih has been here for years. i disconnected it for the winter and rehooked it up. The galvanized couplers on the discharge and pump side are old but do not appear to be leakeing as I taped them well. The check valve seems to be functioning well as I took it off and the flap works correctly. The well is not pulling watrer. there does not appear to be a vacuum on the check vale when I losen it. could the check valve be bad? I am aware I might have to resleeve the well, but do not want to hassle with this if I do not have to. I want to eliminate everything else first. i put another brand new pump on it to see if it was that. That partiuclar pump which was the same thng did not work either.

ANSWER : Your well has gone dry it seems. It has happened to my before. At first the new pump I purchased that did not pump I took back for exchange and still no water. I finally gave in and called the well experts and I was told the well was dried up

I have a tippmann custom pro with a cyclone feeder. I recently got the SAW stock to put on it and encountered some problems many times after I reassembled the gun. I took it apart at least 5 times before I thought it was fixed but now ive encountered another problem. I believe it has to do with the cyclone feeder not responding or something is out of line in the gun. When I picked up the gun to shoot, no paint came out so I took off the CO2 and the barrel and saw that the paintball was 1/3 inside the gun. I also have a problem when im shooting it sometimes does really fast burst. Thank you
ANSWER : Hi there. Tippmann markers are super tough to make sure that they are put back together properly. The stupid clamshell design plus all the little, under engineered parts make it difficult to get it back together properly, especially after installing a stock. I was in the paintball industry for 10 years but have been out of it for a little bit, but i was one of the founding members of Uprising Nation and was a gunsmith/ salesman for PaintballOnline.com / Xtremes. Now with that said…I even had trouble with the tippmann 98’s…and I can rebuild an autococker with my eyes closed but can sometimes be stumped by the tippy’s bad design. It is really tough to diagnose an issue on these guns without looking at it. You may have the ball detent backwards,l missing a pin, sometimes the after market stocks on those are a little too large on the outside diameter preventing the internals from properly seating. The cycloce system may be off due to the valves not meing properly aligned or the connecting rod not being in all the way. Many times though it is incorrect installation of the detent or the deternt gets damages. That little orange peice of **** flap is a mance. I would start there.
It may seem like i am bashing your gun. Im not… Once they are put together properly they work great. Just DONT TAKE THEM APART. lol. If you buy the parts at a local gun shop they will install them for free.
lol I have 6 guns for sale 🙂
Have a good day

My paintball wont stop shooting but it has nothing to do with the co2 tank help?
ANSWER : The first answer is semi-correct. The striker has an oring on it that creates a seal. This seal makes enough pressure for the blowback from the valve push the striker back to reset. Tippmann may send you a replacement striker Oring, or they may not, but you can buy an oring kit easily and cheaply enough on amazon or eBay. If you carefully read the manual, you should be capable of taking the gun apart and fixing it yourself.

My swimming pool. I have just had my fifth IC 40 Intellichlor chlorine generator installed in 4 years at a cost of over $900 today. Each one has worked for no more than 8 months. The first three were replaces under three year warranty, the fourth by a factory rep and I bought the fifth today. The first three all failed with Flow Chk PCB error message. The fourth just stopped working on Sunday, no power or lights. A local Pentair warranty person, whom I paid a Service Call, unplugged the unit, opened the small power center cover, showed me the green light indicating that there was power, plugged in a new IC 40 which worked immediately (as did the other four). I asked if I should replace the power center and he said that it’s basically just a transformer and is working fine. We do get occasional power blips that make the clocks on microwaves, etc blink, but I thought that the power center essentially isolates the cell from these. I do have a Florida Power and Light surge protector on the electrical box that brings power into the house. I have now talked to the pool builder, two Pentair warranty repairmen and one factory rep. I am at a loss. They all tell me they have no idea why these units fail after less than a year. This last IC 40 was installed 3/24/2010, version 2.0 and now failed in less than 5 months. Should I replace the power center that the IC 40 plugs into. Any other suggestions. I have been told that this is the best chlorinator. I don’t want to keep replacing units. By the way, each unit had been spotless inside. I keep the water chemicals and salt levels at ideal levels. The units have never worked long enough to get dirty inside. The power center is connected to an Intellitouch control system outside with an indoor control panel. Last time I called Pentair North Carolina and got some smart alec tech person that had no suggestions. Please Help if you can.
ANSWER : I’ve had the same experiance. On my fifth one as well. Fail every year. No idea why.
